Planning Your Project Attachment

 A potential client wants you to be the project manager for a project  that involves moving to a new computerized human resource management  system that supports the firm’s staffing, compensation, employee  relations, and benefit functions. The client is very vague about what  needs to be done, and all they know is that they do not like the current  system. Identify the types of questions you could ask the client to  gain a better understanding of the scope of the project. Other than  having the client answer your questions, what other activities could you  engage in to gain a better understanding?

students response

 

Adverse impacts of stereotyping in the work place can lead to a false impression of an employee. For example, at my current company, each quarter we discuss managers and what their timelines are for the next role. Some of the descriptions of female managers are aggressive, passive, non confrontational, quiet, or emotional. Descriptions of male managers are commanding, assertive, intelligent, challenging, even tempered. I really started to take notice of these meetings and saw how the females who were seen as emotional were just as assertive as the men but it was received differently. Women who were deemed aggressive said the same thing as the men who were labeled commanding.

This type of descriptive words hurts companies because a female manager may illicit passion to increase the budget and sway a board meeting to increasing the budget but the male manager is asked to speak to the board because he is “commanding”.

It also is discriminatory the other way around. A female employee may not want to speak to a male manager about an issue not knowing the male manager would be a great person to listen to the employee because he may have been through something similar.

The divide stereotypes create decreases productivity and increases rifts in management.

Module 7: Discussion Forum

     

While personality is the relatively permanent part of our behavior, values arise from our experiences and are rooted in our upbringing. Personality is a large component of effective leadership. 

  1. Do experiences that are influenced by strong cultural values and a strong family system lead to much stronger strategic decision making? Do they lead to stronger leadership skills? Explain why or why not and back up your claims with research. 
  2. Personal Application: Think about your own background? What significant experiences shaped your values? How do those values play out today in the workplace, and how do they determine the decisions you make each workday? How do they affect you in terms of your leadership approach and effectiveness? If you are not working, how might these experiences affect you as a future worker or leader? 
  3. Global Application: Consider you are a leader and conduct business in a global community. You are responsible for all decision making in the organization. How would you ensure your decisions are considerate of the ethical and social cultures in which you conduct business?
